    5:00 to be fair the movie does touch this a bit, when Burry goes to cash in they delay him and he says something to the effect of:
    "Let me guess, you are in the process of taking out your own swaps" indicating they took the same bet he did to pay him out.

    Part of the reason that the Big Short is so pertinent is because, ultimately, absolutely nothing happened to the protagonists.
    For instance, Blackrock was given over 30 billion of Bear Sterns asset backed securities for $0 😂❤
    And ironically Larry Fink invented CDO's, now thats a conspiracy. theory.

    • @roseymalino9855
      @roseymalino9855 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Interesting question. As portrayed in the movie, the guys all sold out before actual failure so they were at least assured of something. So as long as each entity was meeting its payment obligations, the action continued. Lehman collapsed when it ran out of money and could not find someone to backstop them.
      Remember, in the movie the premia were increasing while the bonds were failing. Thus it appears failure is something like a mutually agreed point where someone (or all) throws in the towel.
      e.g., The Brownhole guys settled their $200 M by getting another buyer to take it for $80M.

    There are two few great financial films . Love to have seen one on the 1920s crash. Over in Europe it wasnt related to housing loan mortgage tranches but rather just assuming the housing market was never near its max and then house prices crashed and so did demand. Sadly financial movies are often related to disaster and remind citizens they voted for making it more likely to happen. Even now, seeing the result of Merill most dont understand the market so just hope the regulators do understand. The banks and their staff know this.
